Welcome back Sisters! I’m so excited to share an interview with the charming and good-natured Gayle Heinbaugh. Gayle and her husband Doug moved into our ward shortly before Covid and they have one grown son. Gayle currently serves as a Relief Society Ministering secretary in our ward and she also works at the temple each week.
And here are two things I love about Gayle: She is a good listener because she can simply sit back and empathize without trying to solve the problems. And also she has a self-deprecating sense of humor that lets you know she’s comfortable with her own human foibles, which always puts me at ease with my weaknesses around her.
I hope you enjoy this interview where Gayle shares her conversion to the gospel as a young teenager, what she learned through becoming legally blind, and how her faith was strengthened while serving as Relief Society President in Santa Rosa after devastating fires destroyed many homes in their ward boundaries.
